@@tomchen513 That's so true. These people seem to take some immense pride in being a subject of the Queen and didn't mind being second class citizens in their own country. At one time the Hong Kong Chinese were restricted from certain parts of the colony and some clubs had signs saying dogs and Chinese were not allowed entry.
No matter how the government says how “good” they are. Huge numbers of leaving of teachers, professionals and families are voting to this government. bless to real HKers wherever your are.
LOL. They always coming back to Hong Kong or China. Because in u.k is also not great country anymore. Woke, bad crime, drugs, bad econome, etc like Australië , usa, Canada.

The fact that CNA Insider has an episode on this topic, not a HK broadcaster, and not having an academic in Hong Kong who can comment on this objectively on record, says it all about today’s HK.
CNA research on this topic is bare minimum. I know a couple both a teacher in HK UNI, the main reason they left because they cannot accept mainland china teacher have higher wage and position. their mindset is china mainland are lower than them time move on but they have not
The moment you see Regina Ip, you know nonsense is coming…She is hated by HK people but is able to keep her jobs because she kneels down to the CCP so hard…
I can't watch these HK council members talk anymore, they make me nauseous. What a bunch of lies they're spewing. I weep for Hong Kong. The feeling of patriotism isn't forced but nurtured through diverse schools of thought. The Chinese Communist Party wants to promote patriotism and going back to the 'roots' but where are the roots that promoted diverse opinion to 'encourage rounded and multi-faceted' thinking that often led to wise leaders in history? What happened to allowing criticism to straighten and broaden the perspective of the Governing body? The Chinese government just likes to pick and choose whatever suits their agenda. I still love Hong Kong and I miss China like a part of me has been ripped from me but I certainly have no love for CCP
Let's be realistic. Without the CCP, China would not be what it is today. For such a big country, with dozens of ethnic groups each with their own language, culture and religion, it could easily have broken up into a few states. Foreign powers are always looking for opportunities to create unrest under the guise of freedom of speech.
@@LuZhao-z4q - the more talented/wealthier people who have the option to move are more likely to have kids. Older Hong Kongers with retirement money and without dependent kids are more likely to move to mainland China
No problem at all. No one is indispendable. Those who leave will be replaced. It is not a big deal. The system will not collapse. Even a good leader can also be replaced. There will be peoples lining up to replace them
Much appreciated for CNA Insider indeed! Frankly, all of your documentaries are extremely authentic and informative! I feel really touched and even sobbed when I watch this video as I’m one of the Hongkongers who moved to the foreign country. Also, I was an educationalist in HK before. According to different negative circumstances in HK, my family and I moved to stay in the foreign country two years ago. Gratefully, everything is well and smoothly but we all miss our precious homeland. From the bottom of our hearts, it’s our smart and lucky decision to move to other country especially we want our next generation who can study and live in the comparatively freedom and prosperity place if possible! Good Luck to our Homeland, HK🍀🍀🍀
Clearly you miss it because your foreign country sucks - that is freedom for you. Why are you crying? If you cherish your freedom so much, you wouldn't have looked back. You miss it because so many people stayed behind and are having a good time in Hong Kong, while you live in a sucky, racist, country with a bunch of foreigners who don't really like you, and don't want to you be there.😂 Yet you, like the rest of the rioters, are a bunch of stubborn and arrogant individuals who won't admit they are the ones that caused the problems in the first place! IDIOTS
@@426dfvDon't talk nonsense every country have national security laws. Example in the UK. Here thier law. The National Security Act, which received Royal Assent on 11 July 2023, is a response to the threat of hostile activity from states targeting the UK's democracy, economy and values. The threat is ever evolving, and we need to stay one step ahead.
RIP Hong Kong. Thank you for the good times you contributed to the greater East Asia. Your music, movies, and TV shows will greatly be missed. There's a reason why music and movies flourish under free society. Going forward, Hong Kong will be part of the greater ShenZhen. Now everyone need to tape their mouth over.
Poisonous by West News 😂 u r even never live in china how do u know china citizens tape mouth like u said, if ur mouth full of poisonous ya of coz u will be having consequences even in Singapore itself had ISA
don't be. the teachers who left are the real trouble makers. teaching someone to argue & think is different from insinuating someone to hate. It's a fine line. You don't have politics course in the UK because teachers can steer the students to certain modes of thinking - they are young and naive. The teachers in hong kong were doing exactly that - under the guise of debate, they steered the students towards certain biases that they held. teacher's beliefs are also influenced by their background, and they probably aren't qualified to teach politics.
In some ways Singapore education is like this too - there is only one "correct" way of answering questions, thread within the framework or be penalised, coerced to admit your "wrongdoing" even though you may not have committed it.
Do you want to elaborate your "some ways"? For one thing I know, Singapore teachers will never say "The mentor has been left", gees, what school did she graduated from? Timbaktu University? Interesting how will she teach English in her class. Pity her students.
I went through Singapore's education system and honestly cannot empathize with what you are talking about. The only possible subject that might be arguably politicized is social studies, and even that is usually considered an unimportant subject that people usually just ignore unless needing to memorize some talking points for O levels. Every single other subject I have taken (save for literature) only has one right answer and rightly so, there is 1+1=2, sodium is a group 1 metal, water breaks are expensive to maintain. I really hope that these "correct" answers remain correct otherwise we are going to have a huge problem.
Something similar happened to Taiwan in the late 90s, but the other way around. Was in the Taiwan's education system till 1996, was taught that Taiwan was part of China and even how we the should work to over take back mainland China. When all hope is lose of retake mainland China, the country started to putting emphases on being Taiwanese and how Taiwan is independent from China. That sh_t confuses the hell out of me when I get back to Taiwan 10 years later to face people talks up on how Taiwanese culture is when all the root of it comes from mainland China(unless they are the indigenous people). That is the first time I realized the power of public education!
Yep, but you see, based on western liberals, that's not bad revisionism or a problem. No matter what political ideology you fall under, that is a textbook case of rewriting history to fit the agenda.
when you have access to internet none of it matters the real history will remain in the internet its the first time i heard Taiwan teach their kids trying to overtake China lmfao too funny
People in Mainland china should not be taken as a unitary group, there are so many distinctions between different cultural groups in different provinces and sometimes even the same province. The disparities between people in different states are so great that the languages are not even mutually intelligible. Hokkien people are different from cantonese which are different from people from Zhejiang or Anhui
And your kids will paint their face black during Halloween to represent African Americans or Africans. Just like Trudeau. You're just another hypocrite
So Lo Kit Ling, with 17 years of teaching experience, is now a teacher in England. I wonder what she teaches and certainly hope it is not the English language.
I'm glad China is forging its own way and not following the colonial system set up by the US and her allies. Look at how Africa has been "helped" by the west with their bs loan traps and look at them now in less than a decade you can see tangible change.
Growing up in British HK, I have nothing but good memories of it. I weep for HK for what it's turned into now, and I'm so sad I can't even feel safe going back
It’s not rewrite the history but to bury the truth underground forever, CCP is a regime who never ever want his people to know the truth of what is happening inside and outside their country, it’s a brainwashing cult education system to control their people, hates and fear are deeply rooted in CCP ideology and they have no respect for mankind even they are of the same origin, people who don’t obey their barbarism laws will be vanished forever, this the true faces of CCP!
@@NorCalMoDo if the step children are able to live with dignity and respect living with their biological parents who treat them like pigs 🐖 what would you choose? Chinese is deeply adopting their barbaric ways of controlling their children for generations just like what was in the Chinese history “臣要君死，君不得不死，父要子亡，子不得不亡“ if CCP is so kind and good why Chinese from the mainland still struggling to leave the country? Please don’t behave like a pig, look into the reality before you open mouth or telling lies to cover their cruelty?
@@NorCalMoDo Of course they have to re-write history. They are going to re-write the post war housing crisis in Hong Kong was solved by Red China under the 'great' leadership of Mao Ze Dong which is a complete baloni.
@@NorCalMoDo They have to wipe out mentioning of the millions of refugees from Red China under Mao making their hard and dangerous way to British colonial Hong Kong for survival from the late 1950's to early 1960's for face saving Chairman Mao who also happened to be one of my grand relative.
Patriotism is pretty much not taught in most democratic countries, their citizens are very patriotic by nature. Love your British colony sarcasm. Hong Kong had been lucky to have had an adopted dad for a while, otherwise, China would not have been able to use it as a sample city to copy from for the past 25 years.
@jackychick I am a Hong konger, and it is absolutely ridiculous that the so-called resistance from activists were ALL supporting Hong Kong INDEPENDENCE. Only people who are nuts would think that is possible, yet almost all rioters as well as many protestors were demanding self determination like a referendum for independence. Almost all politicians from the so-called democratic party( in name only) broke the election laws on purpose and many were jailed subsequently despite repeated warnings from the government. Most of the activists who organised the protests were also trying to be famous in local media as they would be interviewed by many journalists and literally everyone of them tried to run for local elections ! Protests were simply tools for them to get media exposure. Western media in 2019 wanted to dump it down to communist sympathiers vs democracy protestors (blue and yellow ribbon in hong kong) when in fact the silent majority were both afraid of the communist AND they were even more afraid of fascist freedom fighters ( i.e the rioters) who hospitalised anyone that dared to exercise free speech and opposed their vandalism and violent protests. Doxxing was rampant as children and relatives of the police, or anyone who dared to oppose violent protests were threatened and their homes attacked. Many fled Hong Kong because they were arrested during the riots to escape potential prosecutions. what s the prosecution rate? out of 12000+ rioters, less than 1000 were sent to jail despite being caught red handed at the riots. Most were not even charged as you need beyond reasonable doubt in hong kong to prosecute a rioter. By wearing masks, most of them could not be identified even if they were arrested with rioting gears like helmets, huge umbrella on sunny day, protective gears etc. Out of every riot, e.g 300+ rioters, only 20+ would be arrested in the early months. i.e less than 10%. So out of 12000 people, with 99.3% of rioters got away with rioting as less than 1000 were jailed. This sad affair ultimately prompted Beijing to establish the national security law. So hong kongers could no longer legally commit treason, like flying to the Congress and demanding America to sanction hong kong and China if hong kong couldn't have a western style democracy. How many protestors were killed by the hong kong police during 5 months of protests and riots? ZERO. Did rioters kill anyone? One unarmed cleaner was murdered by a rioter in broad daylight as they got accustomed to throwing bricks at the police and they threw bricks at unarmed innocents for opposing violent protests. Another was set on fire and required multiple surgeries to survive. A total of at least 70+ unarmed innocents were severely hospitalised by rioters, a dozen required surgeries as the fascist mobs beat them to a pulp. Did DW report them? Only a few were reported like they were isolated incidents when in fact the rioters brutality against unarmed innocents were happening EVERY SINGLE WEEK for FIVE months, terrorising millions of hong kongers. Solution? Many pretend to support them. e.g they stopped all the cars at motorways and demand drivers to donate money to their cause, so many simply shouted their protests slogans and they were immediately let go!
😆Western media and CNA will never report those poison teacher educate the HK kids that "Opium War" is to save China. 30-4-2023 Ms. Chen ， Hong Kong parent, revealed that when she and her children were watching an online video of a general knowledge class in the second grade of primary school a few days ago, she discovered that when the teacher talked about the causes of the Opium War, he falsely claimed that the cause of the Opium War was "the British came to eliminate opium." So need to Attack China".
My primary school teachers and classmates had long migrated to Canada and the States in the 80s. The attrition rate nowadays is unprecedented in Hong Kong’s history simply because Hong Kong has successfully transformed into XiangGang.
@gotmyonu1027 even if u do cross pofma line, at most they ask u to take down. You won't disappear or get arrested. I've criticised the government many times on social media. Even called some ministers disgraceful. Nothing has happened. :)
@tsunningwah3471 he's a nutcase. Making accusations he can't prove. It's not the same as saying u think LHL is not gd enough. Which u can definitely say. Try saying xjp is not gd enough in China social media
Doesn't matter, loads of teachers from mainland can fill the gap, especially they follow the CCP's orders much more closely, which the government is very happy with.
You sound as if you are born with a pea for a brain. Go and get a pig's one as I am sure it is better than a pea. You might also showed some sign of intelligence.
When we put a topic under critical examination, it definitely lead to different opinions. Liberal study is important, while picking some topic indicates we put those topics into controversy. I think the problem is not liberal study, the problem is why we intently put national identity into question. I wonder if other countries also enroll this issue into liberal study topics.
Omg you are so naive. You think you as an adult know all the truth? Education is all brain wash even if you try to teach them critical thinking. The world is not for you to think. You can only find out the truth with your own real world experience and investigation. You can never find out the truth by thinking.
Yeah: half an American advanced degree is liberal arts crud no one needs that isn't in those majors. I'm American. I will be doing my degree somewhere else because those filler classes caused me to be unable to complete it in the first place. You must have them to graduate.
Hong Kong will certainly turn into a mainland in a few short years. There was no doubt about it from the beginning of the handover. It just came little sooner than expected.
Those quislings keep on saying with the passing of the National Security Law Hong Kong has returned to stability and peace. If that were the case, why so many families including students and teachers have emigrated to the U.K., Canada or other Western democratic countries, not to mention the important fact that a lot of foreign investors and companies have also moved out of Hong Kong and mainly headed to Singapore? The reason why they have, since 2019, focused more on national security is that the dictator Xi is so fearful of the woe that China Communist Party might lose power and that Xi wishes to have a firm grip on Chinese people’s lives and freedom. That is why China recently passed the new Espionage law. In short, Hong Kong has, since July 1997, been robbed by bandits from the North who not only took away the valuables that were left behind by the British but also destroyed all the good systems that have been in place in Hong Kong before July 1997. Sadly, those bandits continue to stay put in Hong Kong with those quislings and to blatantly and wilfully poison and brainwash the children in Hong Kong to be the victims of the city as delineated by George Orwell.
Thank her for no longer having random fires, elderly people being beat, hooligans throwing bricks that killed an old man. The moment the protest turned violent, is the moment it lost its legitimacy.
It would be great if CNA insider can provide English voice over like what DW do, as I often listen on this as a podcast and it’s hard to follow when people speaking their own languages.
Hong Kong isn't recognized as a international city. Hong Kong and Singapore shared a common characteristics such as racism and discrimination against various groups. Mistreatment and exploitation of foreign workers can be found too
As Singaporean, we have a freedom of speech as long as we do not stir racial hatred. I do love living in Singapore and am proud to be a Singaporean in many ways. Nevertheless I have to admit that there are also shortcomings of the Government that i am discontented with. We can still voice it out at Hong Lim Park. Personally I am feeling that the CCP system is getting closer and closer to his DPRK neighbour
Yes, don't rely on your personal feeling. It is not accurate and show how ignorant you are. You have freedom of speech? Go and find out how many defamation cases the Lee nepotistic dynasty used to silence dissent. Better still ask his own brother of how democratic Singapore is. Don't forget about his nephew. These are all part of his family.
freedom of speech? SG is closer to DPRK than you think! All media outlets were state controlled and funded. Newspaper, radio and TV stations all state owned. CNA of course is state owned and funded.
Disappointed in what Hong Kong has turned into. Friends of mine from there no longer speak to us here in the States because of fear of retaliation if they say the wrong thing. Hong Kong has lost a lot of soft power from this situation. Breaks my heart. Grew up around many people from the city-state. San Francisco bay arwa culture is heavily influenced by Catonese culture and it's just so sad I don't feel safe to travel there now for this or that perspective. Can't trust that the CCP won't choose to put me in jail for mild disagreement with them... I hope someday things turn around. They've effectively ruined Hong Kong's image abroad. :(
it's called "projection". When you say/talk negatively at someone, you/your brain automatically thinks positively of yourself regardless of merit is one example.
By 2047, most of the descendants of pre-1997 HK residents would be either left for SG or the UK, so full assimilation of HK to mainland China is already a foregone conclusion.
And they are free go live in bigger houses in the land of their ideals! That way UK can fulfill their working class labour shortage, China can provide their 20% unemployed graduates teaching jobs in HK. Isn't that a win-win situation for everyone? Don't know why they would want to come to SG though, it wouldn't fulfill any of their ideals. To each their own.

Hong kong has national security law. S'pore has many opposition party members being pursued by the police for criminal offences - pritam singh, charles yeo, lim tean, hsien yang, etc.
Still can't get over the fact that HKer's took freedom for granted for two decades and lost it due to protest against a small extradition bill... why would you sacrifice so much for the few who directly challenges the authority, especially many of them end up fleeing HK anyway... those who hijack'd the people of hong kong into a rebellion, then leave HKer to suffer, should have been ignored and throw out of HK in the first place. PS: I'm a foreigner who've lived in HK, Shanghai, Beijing before '97 and recently, and there's no 'enforcement of national security' like the way they force it on HKer's now... this whole mess is purely the doing of the few extremist.
Typically like a few make the majority to pay the price. Originally it was just to introduce the fugitive offender law, but later it became a mess and it was directly replaced by the national security law. You don't like hard bite carrots, take the stick.
@@Whatisnottaken LOL. There was no modern HK before then. Yet after the British gained possession of HK, the Chinese flocked there. Ahahahahahaha. Edit: BYW, HK was ceded in perpetuity to the British.
This article does seem to talk a lot about the National Security Law in Hong Kong. How come all countries and territories around the world are allowed to have a National Security Law but Hong Kong is not ? Doesn’t this seem weird ?

The population of Hong Kong is going to dwindle by half in 50 years. Only immigration from China will stop this drop; but then China itself is going to experience just as drastic a drop in population.
some of the teachers were too biased and spreading false info about china in the class, thats why the education bureau had to set a guideline on the teaching materials
@@donttalkcrap yes and the massacre of children by catholic church in canada and massacre of indians by americans have also happened, tell me anywhere in the earth that has no such human tragedies
Just import teacher with professional skills (i.e. minus the pro-UK / anglo Saxon attitudes of previous teachers who migrated to UK/Canada/USA) . Time will heals the shortage of teacher . No big deal . Less UK/US influences / interference in education policies of Hong Kong.
Whatever your feelings towards the Chinese may be, there is no denying that HK is their land and they have absolute authority to direct the education system. Western values and methods are not always the best nor do they always work. Personally, it looks like the National Security Law has successfully rooted out the potential subversive elements in Hong Kong's educational system. These leavers would've caused much discontent and conflict in China in the long run, so good riddance I say 👍🏼
@@dannylove7507They left China because they don’t want to follow the Chinese law. The Chinese government requires them to keep their data in China, just like what US required for TikTok. But unlike TikTok, google and Facebook refused to do so. At the same time, they also refused to follow the Chinese government censorship rule, which I don’t agree with, because I think the Chinese people now are rational and educated enough to tell what is right and wrong.
Western values like capitalism, a free press and rule of law is what built up Hong Kong. Hong Kong has every right to determine its own education system under the 50 year deal signed by Beijing. What you describe as "good riddance" is welcomed as talent in many other countries.
We need these kind of teachers and people to leave Hong Kong. Once there are no more of these people and then Hong Kong can be strong again. If they think UK can give them that freedom then good luck to them
Yup. Those who are unhappy with HK’s Chinese identity should try to leave. Whether they will find happiness in another country depends on how honest they are with themselves. If you left for bigger, more affordable and less competitive living environments, a bigger western country will provide that. If you left for ideological reasons, you will find that life in your new country will come with the same challenges and more, and the new political environment does not necessarily provide any meaningful benefit to your life other than to validate any internalised racism.

And in truth, what stopped the protests was not NSL, but the pandemic. After that, so many people left HK and those who remained were scared of the NSL to go out again.

Generally speaking China has taken measures which are good to its territorial integrity and national interest/security "Chinese history" was a selective course in Hong Kong, with only around 10% of the high student took it, and 30% of those takers later dropped out of the class According to semi-annual surveys done by Hong Kong University: Only near 20% of the people viewed themselves as Chinese/Chinese, while over 70% viewed themselves exclusively as Honkongers in Hong Kong or China's Hong Kong, but not as Chinese Over the years, the demands of many demonstrators were really for de facto independence though they might or might not say it publicly during the last waves of demonstrations, "one Hong Kong and one China" demonstration signs were showing up in a lot of places significant number of demonstrators publicly discriminated mainland Chinese during the last waves of demonstrations, in a lot places. speaking mandarin would be a sin to many its old education system must have a lot to do with those
And so you force propaganda down their throats until they're obedient little servants to the state...If a woman doesn't love you, you going to brainwash her too?
It had nothing to do with the educational system, and everything to do with their experiences with mainland Chinese in the past 50 years. Morals, ethics, and respect for others are among some of the things that are dramatically different from typical hongkongers.
@@funpau7549 Of course it has A LOT to do with the education system. Contrary to what you said, NOT all Hongkongers are the same. Many are identify with we mainland Chinese. I personally had met some in graduate school here in US. I have a couple of older people from Hong Kong, as my neighbors. We came here in 1970s to get their phd degrees. We have a great relationship. I have their house keys for years, so that I can take care of their pets when they travel. They regularly visit mainland Chinese, and don't have the sense of superiority or prejudice as many hongkongers had shown in front of cameras. For about 20 years, Hongkong's education system contribute a great deal with vast majority of people under 40 not viewing themselves as Chinese at all. For quite a while in the past, many Hongkongers were looking down on Taiwanese as well. The colonial history certain had a lot to do with the mindset or views by a very significant percentage of people there.
Students were taught mainlanders were locusts, opium war was started by Chinese and they were told they're HKers not Chinese. Students were persuaded not to learn/speak Mandarin. The teachers and its Associations knew about it and did nothing to correct the way it'd been teaching. Some of the teachers were unfit even if they had higher degree. I am pretty sure most of the parents in HK are happier to see these unqaulified teachers leave HK.
Someone needs to tell the stooge that constantly referred to the teaching profession as "the force" to consider using a different word because it's almost as if his police state mentality is leaking 🙄
Singapore should accept these superior HK teachers to make our students have independent thinking instead of chanting The Pledge every day but not practising them.
There are much better and qualified teachers or lecturers out there that Singapore schools or university will accept. Don't think too highly of these HongKong teachers. I have lived and worked in HongKong for 15 years. The kind of HK teachers in general are not in par with those in developed countries.
If pupils in China are not allowed or encouraged to ask questions or debate with teachers, no wonder China is more dependent on technology influx from outside China than the other way round. That little tidbit is actually quite telling indeed.
I have no idea where that conclusion comes from. Even when I was in school in Wuhan, debating with teachers and asking questions were highly encouraged. It was for cultural reasons that we are not doing that as much.
@@a2140416 so are you saying it is the chinese culture that leads to less asking questions? The report showed that certain topics are now off limits and that certain aspects of chinese history have to be teached along party line. The later points to indoctrination and the former that some topics are seen as disrupting. Both are not quite like i imagine a free society handling discourse. The conclusion came from the restraints on generating knowlodge. If you say the report did not accuratly convey how things are done, ok. Then it is your word against that report and the people in there.

I don’t know how well hk could be after introduction of the security law, property price drops, hengseng index drop and daily transaction is as low as 47 billion which was transaction volume in 20 years before, poor hk gov needs to raise money by loan, so sad
To this day, I still don’t understand what the 2019 violence was about. They did not elect a single leader under british rule and had 0 free speech; they were very appreciative of their colonial masters. so what is the fuss in 2019?
@jackychick I am a Hong konger, and it is absolutely ridiculous that the so-called resistance from activists were ALL supporting Hong Kong INDEPENDENCE. Only people who are nuts would think that is possible, yet almost all rioters as well as many protestors were demanding self determination like a referendum for independence. Almost all politicians from the so-called democratic party( in name only) broke the election laws on purpose and many were jailed subsequently despite repeated warnings from the government. Most of the activists who organised the protests were also trying to be famous in local media as they would be interviewed by many journalists and literally everyone of them tried to run for local elections ! Protests were simply tools for them to get media exposure. Western media in 2019 wanted to dump it down to communist sympathiers vs democracy protestors (blue and yellow ribbon in hong kong) when in fact the silent majority were both afraid of the communist AND they were even more afraid of fascist freedom fighters ( i.e the rioters) who hospitalised anyone that dared to exercise free speech and opposed their vandalism and violent protests. Doxxing was rampant as children and relatives of the police, or anyone who dared to oppose violent protests were threatened and their homes attacked. Many fled Hong Kong because they were arrested during the riots to escape potential prosecutions. what s the prosecution rate? out of 12000+ rioters, less than 1000 were sent to jail despite being caught red handed at the riots. Most were not even charged as you need beyond reasonable doubt in hong kong to prosecute a rioter. By wearing masks, most of them could not be identified even if they were arrested with rioting gears like helmets, huge umbrella on sunny day, protective gears etc. Out of every riot, e.g 300+ rioters, only 20+ would be arrested in the early months. i.e less than 10%. So out of 12000 people, with 99.3% of rioters got away with rioting as less than 1000 were jailed. This sad affair ultimately prompted Beijing to establish the national security law. So hong kongers could no longer legally commit treason, like flying to the Congress and demanding America to sanction hong kong and China if hong kong couldn't have a western style democracy. How many protestors were killed by the hong kong police during 5 months of protests and riots? ZERO. Did rioters kill anyone? One unarmed cleaner was murdered by a rioter in broad daylight as they got accustomed to throwing bricks at the police and they threw bricks at unarmed innocents for opposing violent protests. Another was set on fire and required multiple surgeries to survive. A total of at least 70+ unarmed innocents were severely hospitalised by rioters, a dozen required surgeries as the fascist mobs beat them to a pulp. Did DW report them? Only a few were reported like they were isolated incidents when in fact the rioters brutality against unarmed innocents were happening EVERY SINGLE WEEK for FIVE months, terrorising millions of hong kongers. Solution? Many pretend to support them. e.g they stopped all the cars at motorways and demand drivers to donate money to their cause, so many simply shouted their protests slogans and they were immediately let go!
It is not true that Hong Kong had zero free speech under British rule. Hong Kong was one of the freest places on the planet, with numerous newspapers, books and magazines publishing industry, not to mention the most vibrant film and television industries in Asia.
Under British rule, there were elections in three levels of government, the Legislative Council, urban council and district councils. Under the last governor, the functional constituency was expanded to cover half the population, effectively giving two votes to each person.
@@darshanchung the British only opened up elections in the last 3 yrs of their rule. Prior to that the government were all appointed europeans ruling, and violently suppressed protests by the Asian population who wanted right. They literally had separate laws depending on race
The only pressure on teachers is teaching a subject they don't understand themselves. Don't teach that subject. If part of the job, then quit and go into private tuition. Pressure? How many of your students obtained a passing grade? Those that failed under that tutelage needs to be refunded.
No don't be stupid, they're across the whole world unlike Uyghurs. What do you think US or UK are doing to koreans or japanese? You're under their spell
This is a valuable video that allows us to understand the current state of secondary school education in Hong Kong. It's a bold move to make changes to the teachers' camp to eliminate elements of rebellion against the Chinese Communist Party from the educational field. I feel like firing people who don't meet the unique Mainland Chinese curriculum requirements is going too far. The reason why they don't provide history education may be that it is bad for the Chinese Communist Party to have to tell the history, which is said to be ``100-year shame (百年的耻)'' that 100 years ago was colonized by the Japanese Empire and the British Empire. Maybe.
My observations is you go to School for education not to be immersed in politics. I say get your basic education 1st. Such as Mathematics, Science, & Language & vocational skills. As these are basic skills. Participants of Education journey is to learn not politicize. Political aspirations are secondary. That is pragmatic approach. Especially the primary & secondary students. I say to them these are infants still being milk by thier parents. Are they making thier own living. The primary aim of going to school is to equipping the children for to be able to find thier own lifelong skills to enable them live & be able to stand on thier own. I say be practical not political & don't politicize education.
How could they stand on their own if they can't even think for themselves. You don't make sense. What if the government wants to build a brothel next to your house? Do you just worry about math and science?
@@bananian To spices up the conversation...You lack business or investment knowledge or experience. I don't mean to be rude. You need to educate yourself or be less naive inorder to come out with a better agruments. Gov't don't just build brothel next to your home. This is nonsense. There are something call zoning in the local Gov't land use planning. Unless it is a corrupt administration it is something call change of use by the local authority.
I mean, yes, the Texas state very much does not care. Texas separatism is talked about every few years. It's not explicitly taught at school, because that's not really educational material. But teachers and parents are free to express that ideology with no legal consequence. That's the difference. Singapore as well. Opposing voices is not banned overall, that's the tactic of a cowardice government, who cannot take criticism or feedback from their citizens to serve them better. They only care about their own power of control.
For the U.S., they definitely would allow it. The Department of Education doesn’t dictate curricula, the states do. Southern states taught that the Southern states were right to secede (and often still teach it). We have free speech in the U.S.
@@rambam23 oh really? The US merely have "state control" one level down at the state level. That is hardly free speech. Conservatives in the US have a pretty strange concept of what free speech is. A great example is Elon Musk. The free speech absolutionist who regularly ban people who say things he doesn't like. Governments in the US definitely do dictate curricula. Only it's not the federal government that does it but state governments. This does not mean teachers are free to teach what they believe is correct. Straightforward recent example, DeSantis's don't say gay law. So if China kicks down the state control of education down to the provincial level, you would be fine with it. If it is a provincial government in China that does this and not the national government, then you would have no problem? Well, you do realize don't you that the HK government is an autonomous provincial level government.
Actually they do unironically. But then people dont really care since it doesnt really change things or there is no incentive or reason to separate. Hong Kongs case on the otherhand...

I am not surprised one bit as they tried everything to contain China including the Chip Act, the Taiwan Relations Act,and I would not put past them. They even released a Pentagon Assessment that it did not come from the lab so by implication it must be naturally occurring in the Hwang Hua market.
Haha yet another documentary talking down HK by CNA. If Singapore is in the same shoes, wonder what will the Sg government do? Don't blame the National Security Law as you'll find this law in every single country in the Western world. Not to mention ASEAN countries including Singapore as well. So if you guys have National Security Law, I don't see what the fuss is all about having it in Hong Kong. For those who moved to UK, don't they have National Security Law too? People still go on with their normal daily life after the roaches are gone. No more thugs setting fire on random bystanders, no more bricks being thrown by these cowards. Less noise and foolish scenes created by the Pro-western sponsored politicians that appeared daily on the news (what a nuisance). Life is all back to normal.

Not pro west, just not pro CCP, means not pro censorship, oppression, corruption, and hate education. That’s wat you are doing now, what does it have to do with the west? Most people just want democracy, from freedom of speech to keeping your hard earned money. Who wants to be like jack ma, khodorkovsky, and the many that didn’t even make the news.
I can’t see why those teachers think they are under pressure regarding the National security Law. Well, unless they want to overthrow the HK or Chinese government, or they want HK to go independent. It is wrong to promote anti -China at Liberal Study. Those teachers are saying this is against their freedom. I would ask them try to be a teacher in England schools and promote Scotland independence and see what would happen to them! Those teachers think inciting hatred is part of Liberal Study, part of their freedom, I think it’s time to put that right by the introduction of the National Security Law!
Is the education in UK higher than in China? According to PISA and TIMSS, the education results from elementary to high school in China is of higher quality than those in UK.

Wow, the same thing is happening in America. Experienced teachers are leaving and bringing in new teachers. I thought they were driving out the veteran teachers for financial reasons, but now I am beginning to think this is just worldwide.
The news report stated that 4 out 10 teachers leaving the profession were doing so because of the new security. So basically 40%, whilst 60% are leaving for other reasons most likely retiring. So the bulk of those leaving are doing so for normal reasons, yet the news report makes it out that its all because of the new security law.
not all the truth. why no content of influence of foreign country, like UK, and USA CIA in Hongkong? try think if its in Singapore how it will be like?
"Drop-out teachers" makes it seem like they left due to their own failure. No, they left because of a broken system.
normal Hong Kong people have nothing change by the National Security Law...only the terrorist in 2019. But yes the EDU system is broken.....
No. They left because they could not handle a Chinese identity. They believe they are British subjects.

That's so true. These people seem to take some immense pride in being a subject of the Queen and didn't mind being second class citizens in their own country. At one time the Hong Kong Chinese were restricted from certain parts of the colony and some clubs had signs saying dogs and Chinese were not allowed entry.
A real teacher teaches students to think independently, to have a critical mind, not to obey blindly.
Then they are not real teachers.

I can't watch these HK council members talk anymore, they make me nauseous. What a bunch of lies they're spewing. I weep for Hong Kong. The feeling of patriotism isn't forced but nurtured through diverse schools of thought. The Chinese Communist Party wants to promote patriotism and going back to the 'roots' but where are the roots that promoted diverse opinion to 'encourage rounded and multi-faceted' thinking that often led to wise leaders in history? What happened to allowing criticism to straighten and broaden the perspective of the Governing body? The Chinese government just likes to pick and choose whatever suits their agenda.
I still love Hong Kong and I miss China like a part of me has been ripped from me but I certainly have no love for CCP
Let's be realistic. Without the CCP, China would not be what it is today. For such a big country, with dozens of ethnic groups each with their own language, culture and religion, it could easily have broken up into a few states. Foreign powers are always looking for opportunities to create unrest under the guise of freedom of speech.
Well said.
the people who left at 180,000 are replaced by mainlanders but no one is having kids in hk or mainland so classes sit empty. daycares are closing.
do you mean those people who left are having multiple kids?
Many mainlanders are having kids in Hong Kong!
@@LuZhao-z4q - the more talented/wealthier people who have the option to move are more likely to have kids. Older Hong Kongers with retirement money and without dependent kids are more likely to move to mainland China

Much appreciated for CNA Insider indeed! Frankly, all of your documentaries are extremely authentic and informative! I feel really touched and even sobbed when I watch this video as I’m one of the Hongkongers who moved to the foreign country. Also, I was an educationalist in HK before. According to different negative circumstances in HK, my family and I moved to stay in the foreign country two years ago. Gratefully, everything is well and smoothly but we all miss our precious homeland. From the bottom of our hearts, it’s our smart and lucky decision to move to other country especially we want our next generation who can study and live in the comparatively freedom and prosperity place if possible! Good Luck to our Homeland, HK🍀🍀🍀

Clearly you miss it because your foreign country sucks - that is freedom for you. Why are you crying? If you cherish your freedom so much, you wouldn't have looked back. You miss it because so many people stayed behind and are having a good time in Hong Kong, while you live in a sucky, racist, country with a bunch of foreigners who don't really like you, and don't want to you be there.😂 Yet you, like the rest of the rioters, are a bunch of stubborn and arrogant individuals who won't admit they are the ones that caused the problems in the first place!

@@Devilishlybenevolent Singapore already stole HK spot as Asian financial center lol. It's hard fact and reality.
Feel so sorry for the HK teachers n students.
don't be. the teachers who left are the real trouble makers. teaching someone to argue & think is different from insinuating someone to hate. It's a fine line. You don't have politics course in the UK because teachers can steer the students to certain modes of thinking - they are young and naive. The teachers in hong kong were doing exactly that - under the guise of debate, they steered the students towards certain biases that they held. teacher's beliefs are also influenced by their background, and they probably aren't qualified to teach politics.
Same here, they got brain washed by the politicians who were against and betrayed their own country, what a shame😢
In some ways Singapore education is like this too - there is only one "correct" way of answering questions, thread within the framework or be penalised, coerced to admit your "wrongdoing" even though you may not have committed it.
Do you want to elaborate your "some ways"? For one thing I know, Singapore teachers will never say "The mentor has been left", gees, what school did she graduated from? Timbaktu University? Interesting how will she teach English in her class. Pity her students.
I went through Singapore's education system and honestly cannot empathize with what you are talking about. The only possible subject that might be arguably politicized is social studies, and even that is usually considered an unimportant subject that people usually just ignore unless needing to memorize some talking points for O levels.
Every single other subject I have taken (save for literature) only has one right answer and rightly so, there is 1+1=2, sodium is a group 1 metal, water breaks are expensive to maintain. I really hope that these "correct" answers remain correct otherwise we are going to have a huge problem.
Something similar happened to Taiwan in the late 90s, but the other way around. Was in the Taiwan's education system till 1996, was taught that Taiwan was part of China and even how we the should work to over take back mainland China. When all hope is lose of retake mainland China, the country started to putting emphases on being Taiwanese and how Taiwan is independent from China. That sh_t confuses the hell out of me when I get back to Taiwan 10 years later to face people talks up on how Taiwanese culture is when all the root of it comes from mainland China(unless they are the indigenous people).
That is the first time I realized the power of public education!
Yep, but you see, based on western liberals, that's not bad revisionism or a problem. No matter what political ideology you fall under, that is a textbook case of rewriting history to fit the agenda.
when you have access to internet none of it matters
the real history will remain in the internet
its the first time i heard Taiwan teach their kids trying to overtake China lmfao too funny
Incorrect the root Ch1nese culture is from Canton. Now we live overseas.
People in Mainland china should not be taken as a unitary group, there are so many distinctions between different cultural groups in different provinces and sometimes even the same province. The disparities between people in different states are so great that the languages are not even mutually intelligible. Hokkien people are different from cantonese which are different from people from Zhejiang or Anhui
It is ridiculous to say Taiwan was part of China and you want to retake it. Instead you should have been taught that China was part of Taiwan.
Dr. Hui, I hope your children have already graduated. When you have grandchildren, I am pretty sure you will raise them in Toronto
And your kids will paint their face black during Halloween to represent African Americans or Africans. Just like Trudeau. You're just another hypocrite

yup they can learn about hate speech in toronto and all the things people are not allowed to say there
So Lo Kit Ling, with 17 years of teaching experience, is now a teacher in England. I wonder what she teaches and certainly hope it is not the English language.

- transparency, and

My corruption home country also fears these 4 points 😂
I'm glad China is forging its own way and not following the colonial system set up by the US and her allies. Look at how Africa has been "helped" by the west with their bs loan traps and look at them now in less than a decade you can see tangible change.
That is hilarious, when the people in HK protested for rights in 1960s they were violently put down. Stark contrast to 2019
All Hongkongers are welcomed in the UK, a new start & freedom of speech awaits you.

I really feel for the teachers. Imagine having to rewrite the history books.
It’s not rewrite the history but to bury the truth underground forever, CCP is a regime who never ever want his people to know the truth of what is happening inside and outside their country, it’s a brainwashing cult education system to control their people, hates and fear are deeply rooted in CCP ideology and they have no respect for mankind even they are of the same origin, people who don’t obey their barbarism laws will be vanished forever, this the true faces of CCP!

PATRIOTISM is called political propaganda. teaching chinese about their history is crime. I am shocked by double standards.

Patriotism is pretty much not taught in most democratic countries, their citizens are very patriotic by nature. Love your British colony sarcasm.

This sad affair ultimately prompted Beijing to establish the national security law. So hong kongers could no longer legally commit treason, like flying to the Congress and demanding America to sanction hong kong and China if hong kong couldn't have a western style democracy.
How many protestors were killed by the hong kong police during 5 months of protests and riots? ZERO. Did rioters kill anyone? One unarmed cleaner was murdered by a rioter in broad daylight as they got accustomed to throwing bricks at the police and they threw bricks at unarmed innocents for opposing violent protests.
Another was set on fire and required multiple surgeries to survive. A total of at least 70+ unarmed innocents were severely hospitalised by rioters, a dozen required surgeries as the fascist mobs beat them to a pulp.
Did DW report them? Only a few were reported like they were isolated incidents when in fact the rioters brutality against unarmed innocents were happening EVERY SINGLE WEEK for FIVE months, terrorising millions of hong kongers.
Solution? Many pretend to support them. e.g they stopped all the cars at motorways and demand drivers to donate money to their cause, so many simply shouted their protests slogans and they were immediately let go!
Unfortunately most people outside of Hong Kong do not know the truth as the world media is dominated by the US state media.

Those quislings keep on saying with the passing of the National Security Law Hong Kong has returned to stability and peace. If that were the case, why so many families including students and teachers have emigrated to the U.K., Canada or other Western democratic countries, not to mention the important fact that a lot of foreign investors and companies have also moved out of Hong Kong and mainly headed to Singapore?
The reason why they have, since 2019, focused more on national security is that the dictator Xi is so fearful of the woe that China Communist Party might lose power and that Xi wishes to have a firm grip on Chinese people’s lives and freedom. That is why China recently passed the new Espionage law.
In short, Hong Kong has, since July 1997, been robbed by bandits from the North who not only took away the valuables that were left behind by the British but also destroyed all the good systems that have been in place in Hong Kong before July 1997.
Sadly, those bandits continue to stay put in Hong Kong with those quislings and to blatantly and wilfully poison and brainwash the children in Hong Kong to be the victims of the city as delineated by George Orwell.

Nice insight. But racism is not unique to just this 2 tiny place. Look in the mirror and your own country.
As Singaporean, we have a freedom of speech as long as we do not stir racial hatred. I do love living in Singapore and am proud to be a Singaporean in many ways. Nevertheless I have to admit that there are also shortcomings of the Government that i am discontented with. We can still voice it out at Hong Lim Park. Personally I am feeling that the CCP system is getting closer and closer to his DPRK neighbour
Yes, don't rely on your personal feeling. It is not accurate and show how ignorant you are. You have freedom of speech? Go and find out how many defamation cases the Lee nepotistic dynasty used to silence dissent. Better still ask his own brother of how democratic Singapore is. Don't forget about his nephew.

Very good comment, and so true.
And the reason you were able to come up with that conclusion, is, because you had the freedom to think for yourself.
freedom of speech? SG is closer to DPRK than you think! All media outlets were state controlled and funded. Newspaper, radio and TV stations all state owned. CNA of course is state owned and funded.
Beijing needs to learn to sue like the Singapore government. Especially to the ones speaking on behalf of Washington.
Still I doubt we can teach liberalism in University.

Hong Kong has lost a lot of soft power from this situation. Breaks my heart. Grew up around many people from the city-state.

@jackychick
I am a Hong konger, and it is absolutely ridiculous that the so-called resistance from activists were ALL supporting Hong Kong INDEPENDENCE. Only people who are nuts would think that is possible, yet almost all rioters as well as many protestors were demanding self determination like a referendum for independence.
Almost all politicians from the so-called democratic party( in name only) broke the election laws on purpose and many were jailed subsequently despite repeated warnings from the government.
Most of the activists who organised the protests were also trying to be famous in local media as they would be interviewed by many journalists and literally everyone of them tried to run for local elections ! Protests were simply tools for them to get media exposure.
Western media in 2019 wanted to dump it down to communist sympathiers vs democracy protestors (blue and yellow ribbon in hong kong) when in fact the silent majority were both afraid of the communist AND they were even more afraid of fascist freedom fighters ( i.e the rioters) who hospitalised anyone that dared to exercise free speech and opposed their vandalism and violent protests.
Doxxing was rampant as children and relatives of the police, or anyone who dared to oppose violent protests were threatened and their homes attacked.
Many fled Hong Kong because they were arrested during the riots to escape potential prosecutions. what s the prosecution rate? out of 12000+ rioters, less than 1000 were sent to jail despite being caught red handed at the riots. Most were not even charged as you need beyond reasonable doubt in hong kong to prosecute a rioter.
By wearing masks, most of them could not be identified even if they were arrested with rioting gears like helmets, huge umbrella on sunny day, protective gears etc.
Out of every riot, e.g 300+ rioters, only 20+ would be arrested in the early months. i.e less than 10%. So out of 12000 people, with 99.3% of rioters got away with rioting as less than 1000 were jailed.
This sad affair ultimately prompted Beijing to establish the national security law. So hong kongers could no longer legally commit treason, like flying to the Congress and demanding America to sanction hong kong and China if hong kong couldn't have a western style democracy.
How many protestors were killed by the hong kong police during 5 months of protests and riots? ZERO. Did rioters kill anyone? One unarmed cleaner was murdered by a rioter in broad daylight as they got accustomed to throwing bricks at the police and they threw bricks at unarmed innocents for opposing violent protests.
Another was set on fire and required multiple surgeries to survive. A total of at least 70+ unarmed innocents were severely hospitalised by rioters, a dozen required surgeries as the fascist mobs beat them to a pulp.
Did DW report them? Only a few were reported like they were isolated incidents when in fact the rioters brutality against unarmed innocents were happening EVERY SINGLE WEEK for FIVE months, terrorising millions of hong kongers.
Solution? Many pretend to support them. e.g they stopped all the cars at motorways and demand drivers to donate money to their cause, so many simply shouted their protests slogans and they were immediately let go!
Most of these HK activists escaped to UK,US and Canada Chinese community and they dare not to make a noise. @@happymelon7129

PS: I'm a foreigner who've lived in HK, Shanghai, Beijing before '97 and recently, and there's no 'enforcement of national security' like the way they force it on HKer's now... this whole mess is purely the doing of the few extremist.
lets face it, they never had any real freedom in the first place if this was all it took

Whatever your feelings towards the Chinese may be, there is no denying that HK is their land and they have absolute authority to direct the education system. Western values and methods are not always the best nor do they always work.

We need these kind of teachers and people to leave Hong Kong. Once there are no more of these people and then Hong Kong can be strong again. If they think UK can give them that freedom then good luck to them
Yup. Those who are unhappy with HK’s Chinese identity should try to leave. Whether they will find happiness in another country depends on how honest they are with themselves.
If you left for bigger, more affordable and less competitive living environments, a bigger western country will provide that.
If you left for ideological reasons, you will find that life in your new country will come with the same challenges and more, and the new political environment does not necessarily provide any meaningful benefit to your life other than to validate any internalised racism.

Generally speaking China has taken measures which are good to its territorial integrity and national interest/security
"Chinese history" was a selective course in Hong Kong, with only around 10% of the high student took it, and 30% of those takers later dropped out of the class
According to semi-annual surveys done by Hong Kong University:
Only near 20% of the people viewed themselves as Chinese/Chinese, while over 70% viewed themselves exclusively as Honkongers in Hong Kong or China's Hong Kong, but not as Chinese
Over the years, the demands of many demonstrators were really for de facto independence though they might or might not say it publicly
during the last waves of demonstrations, "one Hong Kong and one China" demonstration signs were showing up in a lot of places
significant number of demonstrators publicly discriminated mainland Chinese during the last waves of demonstrations, in a lot places. speaking mandarin would be a sin to many
its old education system must have a lot to do with those
And so you force propaganda down their throats until they're obedient little servants to the state...If a woman doesn't love you, you going to brainwash her too?
It had nothing to do with the educational system, and everything to do with their experiences with mainland Chinese in the past 50 years. Morals, ethics, and respect for others are among some of the things that are dramatically different from typical hongkongers.
@@funpau7549 Of course it has A LOT to do with the education system. Contrary to what you said, NOT all Hongkongers are the same. Many are identify with we mainland Chinese. I personally had met some in graduate school here in US. I have a couple of older people from Hong Kong, as my neighbors. We came here in 1970s to get their phd degrees. We have a great relationship. I have their house keys for years, so that I can take care of their pets when they travel. They regularly visit mainland Chinese, and don't have the sense of superiority or prejudice as many hongkongers had shown in front of cameras.
For about 20 years, Hongkong's education system contribute a great deal with vast majority of people under 40 not viewing themselves as Chinese at all. For quite a while in the past, many Hongkongers were looking down on Taiwanese as well. The colonial history certain had a lot to do with the mindset or views by a very significant percentage of people there.
without a doubt that is one of the main reason.
Students were taught mainlanders were locusts, opium war was started by Chinese and they were told they're HKers not Chinese. Students were persuaded not to learn/speak Mandarin. The teachers and its Associations knew about it and did nothing to correct the way it'd been teaching. Some of the teachers were unfit even if they had higher degree. I am pretty sure most of the parents in HK are happier to see these unqaulified teachers leave HK.
This is a simply political turnover from the old British colonial system. The new law is a result of it not because of it.
Someone needs to tell the stooge that constantly referred to the teaching profession as "the force" to consider using a different word because it's almost as if his police state mentality is leaking 🙄
Singapore should accept these superior HK teachers to make our students have independent thinking instead of chanting The Pledge every day but not practising them.
There are much better and qualified teachers or lecturers out there that Singapore schools or university will accept. Don't think too highly of these HongKong teachers. I have lived and worked in HongKong for 15 years. The kind of HK teachers in general are not in par with those in developed countries.
If pupils in China are not allowed or encouraged to ask questions or debate with teachers, no wonder China is more dependent on technology influx from outside China than the other way round. That little tidbit is actually quite telling indeed.
I have no idea where that conclusion comes from. Even when I was in school in Wuhan, debating with teachers and asking questions were highly encouraged. It was for cultural reasons that we are not doing that as much.
@@a2140416 so are you saying it is the chinese culture that leads to less asking questions?

This is a valuable video that allows us to understand the current state of secondary school education in Hong Kong.
It's a bold move to make changes to the teachers' camp to eliminate elements of rebellion against the Chinese Communist Party from the educational field.
I feel like firing people who don't meet the unique Mainland Chinese curriculum requirements is going too far.
The reason why they don't provide history education may be that it is bad for the Chinese Communist Party to have to tell the history, which is said to be ``100-year shame (百年的耻)'' that 100 years ago was colonized by the Japanese Empire and the British Empire. Maybe.

My observations is you go to School for education not to be immersed in politics. I say get your basic education 1st. Such as Mathematics, Science, & Language & vocational skills. As these are basic skills. Participants of Education journey is to learn not politicize. Political aspirations are secondary. That is pragmatic approach. Especially the primary & secondary students. I say to them these are infants still being milk by thier parents. Are they making thier own living. The primary aim of going to school is to equipping the children for to be able to find thier own lifelong skills to enable them live & be able to stand on thier own. I say be practical not political & don't politicize education.
How could they stand on their own if they can't even think for themselves. You don't make sense. What if the government wants to build a brothel next to your house? Do you just worry about math and science?
@@bananian To spices up the conversation...You lack business or investment knowledge or experience.
I don't mean to be rude. You need to educate yourself or be less naive inorder to come out with a better agruments.
Gov't don't just build brothel next to your home. This is nonsense. There are something call zoning in the local Gov't land use planning. Unless it is a corrupt administration it is something call change of use by the local authority.
Do you think US will allow Texas to teach students to have independence? Or Indian decent Singaporean to teach student to have a separatist ideology?
I mean, yes, the Texas state very much does not care. Texas separatism is talked about every few years. It's not explicitly taught at school, because that's not really educational material. But teachers and parents are free to express that ideology with no legal consequence. That's the difference.
Singapore as well. Opposing voices is not banned overall, that's the tactic of a cowardice government, who cannot take criticism or feedback from their citizens to serve them better. They only care about their own power of control.
For the U.S., they definitely would allow it. The Department of Education doesn’t dictate curricula, the states do. Southern states taught that the Southern states were right to secede (and often still teach it). We have free speech in the U.S.
@@rambam23 oh really? The US merely have "state control" one level down at the state level. That is hardly free speech. Conservatives in the US have a pretty strange concept of what free speech is. A great example is Elon Musk. The free speech absolutionist who regularly ban people who say things he doesn't like.
Governments in the US definitely do dictate curricula. Only it's not the federal government that does it but state governments. This does not mean teachers are free to teach what they believe is correct. Straightforward recent example, DeSantis's don't say gay law.
So if China kicks down the state control of education down to the provincial level, you would be fine with it. If it is a provincial government in China that does this and not the national government, then you would have no problem? Well, you do realize don't you that the HK government is an autonomous provincial level government.
As a Texan, actually yeah they do! It’s kind of a running joke really.
Actually they do unironically. But then people dont really care since it doesnt really change things or there is no incentive or reason to separate. Hong Kongs case on the otherhand...

Recap by Tammy AI
I had a British Sinophobe try to tell me no one in Hong Kong misses the British era. Boy do I laugh every time I remember that opinion.
Good let them leave, don't let them come back
already coming back
Today, I just learnt from my mainland professor in CUHK that the 2019 coronavirus comes from a US lab.
I'm not surprised
I am not surprised one bit as they tried everything to contain China including the Chip Act, the Taiwan Relations Act,and I would not put past them. They even released a Pentagon Assessment that it did not come from the lab so by implication it must be naturally occurring in the Hwang Hua market.
Your mainland professor learnt it from David Martin and evidence shown in media also.
Yes it probably did. Fort Detrick.
what course is that?
Please ask them to go to US & UK. Please!!!!!! 😁
Haha yet another documentary talking down HK by CNA. If Singapore is in the same shoes, wonder what will the Sg government do? Don't blame the National Security Law as you'll find this law in every single country in the Western world. Not to mention ASEAN countries including Singapore as well. So if you guys have National Security Law, I don't see what the fuss is all about having it in Hong Kong. For those who moved to UK, don't they have National Security Law too?
People still go on with their normal daily life after the roaches are gone. No more thugs setting fire on random bystanders, no more bricks being thrown by these cowards. Less noise and foolish scenes created by the Pro-western sponsored politicians that appeared daily on the news (what a nuisance). Life is all back to normal.
Why whenever the UK or USA goes, the result is war, famine, and deaths?
@@cimonkien9833 coz their economy is largely fuelled by staging wars. Arms dealers getting hundreds of billion each year which they are happily donating tons of money for the presidential campaign to both Democrats and Republican parties. Why they weren’t called this as corruption but instead called donations?!
Not pro west, just not pro CCP, means not pro censorship, oppression, corruption, and hate education. That’s wat you are doing now, what does it have to do with the west? Most people just want democracy, from freedom of speech to keeping your hard earned money. Who wants to be like jack ma, khodorkovsky, and the many that didn’t even make the news.
BEST TO HAVE NO NATION. JUST BE HUMAN. EARTH BELONGS TO US. NOT INDIVIDUALS.
I can’t see why those teachers think they are under pressure regarding the National security Law. Well, unless they want to overthrow the HK or Chinese government, or they want HK to go independent.
It is wrong to promote anti -China at Liberal Study. Those teachers are saying this is against their freedom. I would ask them try to be a teacher in England schools and promote Scotland independence and see what would happen to them!
Those teachers think inciting hatred is part of Liberal Study, part of their freedom, I think it’s time to put that right by the introduction of the National Security Law!
Indeed what is there to fear if one is not involved in subversive activities and separatist groups?
Is the education in UK higher than in China? According to PISA and TIMSS, the education results from elementary to high school in China is of higher quality than those in UK.
Really sad what they did to HKG. I think hkg will never be the same again.
Hong Kong enjoy far more Freedom under China than under the Goddamn British
The British discriminate Hong Kong people
As if Hong Kong people did not exist
HK is the new Pyongyang
@@dannylove7507
You are speaking nonsense Hong Kong people enjoy more freedom under China than Under the British
The British rule Hong Kong as dictator
Hong Kong people has no political right Under the British
Under China we can select our own government
@@dannylove7507 you know nothing about Hong Kong you have Never Been to Hong Kong Shut your big mouth
If you have no knowledge of the subject
@@WingkKong i see… North Korea is the most democratic paradise on earth. Please move there you delusional lunatic 😆
May I ask which jobs can an old teacher change please?
If they are unhappy, why force them to stay? I am sure a lot of mainland Chinese teachers will jump at the chance to go to Hong Kong and teach. Well done! Perfect succession planning!
except these mainlanders will also leave once they got their HK citizenship and China takes away even more freedom lol.
At 0:31 what is the name of the building on the left side of the video that has a red line on top.
@cna
you should do a vid comparing the national security law between the usa uk with china!!!
the nsl of china is very simple and straightforward compared to the nsl of any western country!
I wonder how that lady feels you have no free speech against the crown and you can be jailed if you talk badly about the king... I'm sure she'll say "oh well you must follow the law" while not realising how hypocritical it is.
@@Devilishlybenevolent
totally agreed!
these people say china that china this, they dont have a clue how china operates! china have more freedom, right, and democracy that any western country, if you study their political system and what they have done for the common people!
i didnt know about anything about china, until i do my research, cause i have been in the usa my entire life.
Julian assange and edward Snowden are the victims of US National security law
Sadly this only expedited change blood process from the mainlanders to new HK .
U$A, Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years in prison for Capitol riot .
Compare to ...
Most HK riot leader sentenced to 4 years or less in prison
What a beautiful sight to behold !
Wow, the same thing is happening in America. Experienced teachers are leaving and bringing in new teachers. I thought they were driving out the veteran teachers for financial reasons, but now I am beginning to think this is just worldwide.
please don't compare with the situation in usa, that is 2 the different world. man.
what are you talking about? American teachers might be not well paid compared to other American jobs, but American teachers are not leaving.

The news report stated that 4 out 10 teachers leaving the profession were doing so because of the new security. So basically 40%, whilst 60% are leaving for other reasons most likely retiring. So the bulk of those leaving are doing so for normal reasons, yet the news report makes it out that its all because of the new security law.
not all the truth. why no content of influence of foreign country, like UK, and USA CIA in Hongkong? try think if its in Singapore how it will be like?
Which country's education syllabus is including bad stuff about own country?
Canada and the States. We're taught residential schools, internment camps during ww2, and of course slavery.
After the west saying HK has lost it's status as Asias financial hub it was announced that it has regained its status
